AMA Pro Road Racing officials announced today that entries are now being accepted for the season-ending AMA Pro Road Racing 8 Hours of Daytona weekend for AMA Pro SunTrust Moto-GT and AMA Pro SuperSport presented by Shoei at Daytona International Speedway, October 16 -18.

The entry deadline for all races is September 11th with late entries accepted up to the close of business on September 18th.  Post entries will be accepted for SuperSport only on Thursday, October 15.

The featured 8 Hours of Daytona is the season-ending event for SunTrust Moto-GT and will run on Saturday, October 17 from 1 – 9 p.m. ET.  The posted purse features a larger per-class payout than the per-class payout of the 200 race.  Both the GT1 and GT2 classes will each pay $15,000 in first-place prize money.

The 8 Hour will race with the same level of lighting provided in previous years, and all competing motorcycles must have working headlights and taillights.

The SuperSport Shootout race purse is more than double the standard per-event posted payout at series races this season.  The winner’s race purse is $5,000, double the first-place payout at 2009 races. The Shootout race winner will be the SuperSport National Champion.  All SuperSport Shootout participants must have run at least one previous SuperSport race during the 2009 season.

The complete purse payout can be found at AMAProRacing.com or by clicking here.
